This sounds very much like going back to the good old days of time-sharing mainframes where you only had a terminal linked to a distant mainframe (often via an acoustic coupler). Yes, I am showing my age as I learned on one of these set-ups. Of course, interactive gaming back then meant an awful lot of typing and waiting.

Nintendo insiders speak: How Microsoft and Sony were a handshake away from thwarting the Wii, and how its motion controller was born on an airplane... Tom Quinn, a serial inventor based in California, is described by some as "the man who invented the Wii". That's not an accurate statement, of course, but it's not an entirely false one either.

Sales of Windows 8 PCs are well below Microsoft’s internal projections and have been described inside the company as disappointing. But here’s the catch: The software giant blames the slow start on lackluster PC maker designs and availability, further justifying its new Surface strategy. But Windows 8’s market acceptance can be blamed on many factors.

I don’t want to teach anyone how to cover their illicit tracks better, or how to have a more clandestine affair, but let’s take a look at where Petraeus and Broadwell went wrong so you can understand how to cover your tracks better in general, and how to secure your email and protect your privacy online.

The more identities a man has, the more they express the person they conceal.

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

We are leaping into the future!

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.Stephen Hawking

One of the worst things that can happen to you is your code being a failure, and in extension, causing damage to a bigger picture as in: delaying (or breaking down) the project and the business, pulling down the sales, or generating any money/time/or hardware loss. It could happen in the worst of the moments, and in the least expected scenarios. What is a coder to do when his program goes wrong and every finger is pointing on him?

Success usually has many parents, failure remains an orphan until they figure out a way to put it on you.

Why so paranoid? Simple. Because I care about my work, photos and data and I would be sad if I lost it. Think about all the times you've heard about a friend who has lost everything. A decade of photos. Years of email. It hurts- just like exercise - because it's good for you.

Performance is only one of many points we consider when we review tablets, but performance affects your overall impression of the tablet—how zippy and responsive it is when you use apps, navigate the operating system, and surf the Web. On top of that, if your tablet's battery fails to deliver long life, you'll find yourself tethered to an outlet more often than you'd like.

If you build websites for a living, you'll undoubtedly use the obvious web design tools - Firebug, Browsershots, plus the various font embedding services and page speed analysers. So this article isn't about them. Instead we thought we take a look at the more underrated tools that can help you improve client-side browser development and rigorously test everything that you build.

Although the design looks remarkably similar, much has changed below the surface. Where each page previously requested at least 14 assets weighing a total of 385kB, now only 9 requests are needed, and with an unprimed cache, these total just over 100kB. I thought it would be interesting to detail the changes I’ve made, and this time, I’ve got graphs!

Because of the low mass, if iPhones and iPads were substituted for larger, NASA-designed computer systems, NASA could save on development time and money (rocket fuel ain’t cheap, you know). Astronauts also get the benefits of an intuitive, well-designed user interface and more modern technology, versus the computers the astronauts now use, which are generally five to 10 years behind the latest consumer tech.

This is all about a lot more than simply playing Angry Birds Space in space.
